MBF/Magnificent Monday 9/25

katiegeminimoon · September 2017

I guess my first MBF will be both of my GIF's won't show up

MJDsquared · September 2017

@ktcakes87 I don't know if you fixed them but they're showing up for me now!

My MBF is feeling sick again. Pre-pregnancy, I never got sick. I normally have a bionic immune system. This morning I felt pretty weak, like it was an effort to walk around (even after eating) and then I had this spell of just sweating all over. Anyway, I tried both of our thermometers and got 94 which would mean I'm dead. Waited a few minutes and got 97.71 on the newer/more trustworthy thermometer... But that's still too low, right? It's a basal body temp thermometer and it worked to track my waking temps to get me pregnant, but I'm wondering if maybe BBT thermometers aren't accurate for regular temps? (Sorry this spiraled from a bitchfest into a question, lol)

ETA: I Googled and apparently 97.7 is in the normal range, so maybe my thermometer does work after all.

@MJDsquared if my temp breaks 98, that's high for me so I'd say 97.7 is fine.

MM - DD slept 12 hours last night! And she's behaving today! Fx that she naps today too...

MBF - despite eating a crap ton of foods with iron in it, I'm still showing signs of anemia. Nearly passed out walking through the parking garage. 3rd trimester symptoms can kiss my ass

whiska · September 2017

@MJDsquared That's so weird - I feel like we're always having similar symptoms around the same time! I was feeling really sick this weekend and thought I would have to call in sick today, but I guess lots of rest, salt water gargling, and head over steam for a bit helped. Still tired today but not that "fuck I think I'm getting sick!" feeling... Hope you get to feeling better!!

My MBF is that I'm annoyed with all these apps calling third trimester "the homestretch". Um no, if all goes as it should I have a full third of this pregnancy left. THAT'S A LOT.

@MJDsquared I use my BBT as my regular thermometer when the need arises, so I would trust it. Sometimes it will read really low if I had just had something to drink (like a sip of water) when I use it (like your "dead" temp of 94!) but pre-preg I'm somewhere in the low 97s, so high 97s to 98s seems about right for during pregnancy. Sorry you aren't feeling well.

My MBF is that I was forced to get a new computer for work and they put much stricter security lockdown on it-- as in I need an administrator password every time I want to do a software update. I can't figure out how to change my printer to wireless and when I follow the instructions on the HP website, I don't have the ability to do what it says. I telecommute from a laptop, so F that if they think I'm going to be physically tethered to a huge multifunction printer device by a USB cable 40 hours a week. Ugh. Also I'm a millennial who should know how to do this so I refuse to ask for help-- guess this is how I'm spending my afternoon!

kaymariec · September 2017

My coworkers are too cold; I'm dying from the heat. It's 80 out and they turned off AC. I have an AC unit in my office that doesn't work. Asked boss to have it fixed and he took a major attitude about it. Praying for cold weather soon so I can keep my window open.

katiegeminimoon · September 2017

@MJDsquared weird, it's still only showing one for me.

My MBF is that apparently my mother expects me to pay for most of my baby shower!!! I've always known she was bad with money, but eff this. I went with her to pick up stuff the other day and she made me pay for most of it! I will not be amused if she makes me pay for the food too.

Amber_Waves · September 2017

MBF: I have a stupid cold.

MM: DH was nervous about my cold and wanted me to call and tell the doctor, just in case she wanted to test for strep or something. I was like, "okay, fine" even though I am pretty sure it's a waste of my/her time. As predicted: the doctor is not worried, but she did give me a list of acceptable meds to take, which was unexpected, since the pregnancy books are all like, "suffer. gargle salt water. you're fine. shut up." Get in my mouth, lozenge! Yay!

failuretofly · September 2017

My MBF is after a week+ of sleeping until 7:30 and me getting used to it and adjusting my bedtime a little later... DS decided he needed to get up at 6:30 today... when DH is working and can't get up with him and let me sleep AND I have to work an evening tonight.

Also my autocorrect is a complete douche since this new software update on android. It's super fucking annoying.

breezybee · September 2017

Magnificent Mondaaaaaaay!!! Getting shit done! Ordered all the paint for my new house - painters are starting today. Got an Appt to see the babies in an hour, and I'm going to eat a freaking cheeseburger for lunch with truffle fries. Yeah!

MJDsquared · September 2017

@whiska I'm glad you're feeling better! I'm hoping today's just a fluke/it's a quickly passing thing. I feel better than I did this morning already, so hopefully that continues!

mdcd44127 · September 2017

My MBF: I got an email this morning from my senior director asking me to give a presentation at our extended staff meeting this week talking about the conference I attended at the end of August. Dude, do you understand how much is going on in my life right now? A month ago feels like years ago, I barely remember the conference. Ugh. (But at least he gave me a few days' warning, I can't imagine how much blubbering I would have done if he sprung this on me mid-meeting.)

mdcd44127 · September 2017

@MJDsquared I hear you on the crap immune system! I'm usually a "mild sniffles every 2-3 years" girl, but since getting pregnant I've already gotten two nasty colds, seemingly out of nowhere. My boss emailed this AM to say she "has the flu" (she's an old woman with a flair for the dramatic, no one believes her at this point), but she better stay the hell out of the office this week. I may have gotten my flu shot on Friday, but I don't need to catch a third cold this pregnancy, and she's the type to walk right up to you and cough.

@elcd458 Our work computers are Admin-locked as well, and I've had problems in the past installing my wireless printer, it's a huge bummer. But after my last laptop upgrade I was able to get the IS dept to temporarily grant me admin privileges to install a program, and then I got off the phone really quickly before the guy remembered to take them away, so I can install anything I want now. I feel like such a little rebel, lol.

sjis · September 2017

Mbf: my stupid sinus infection that's lasted a week just won't go away. In combo with a rather windy day here in SoCal my allergies are also making me feel miserable.

MM: on a good note, DH says he booked me a prenatal massage for this Sat! Yaaay!

cait5413 · September 2017

Mm: started the day with a quick productive conference call followed by a massage

And: DH had a cold that became an infection. He is now on antibiotic #3 and I am wondering if this one will actually work or if it is still a virus kicking his butt. With each antibiotic he does seem to get a little better but it doesn't go away and then gets worse again. Then, dd's daycare put a note in her app that she was fussy and playing with her ear and then called me in the afternoon to come get her because she had a low fever and threw up. Then I got home and kept getting faint while cooking dinner--I kept having to sit and or lie down in the midst of Browning meatballs.

clovelyone · September 2017

@cait5413 Have you had your hemoglobin level checked? Pregnancy can cause anemia which can make you super tired, cause shortness of breath or fainting. I'm not a doctor of course, but that is something that could be easily checked.

kaylawing · September 2017

Mm: DH randomly took today off and we spent the day as a family. We had lunch downtown and the went to a great children’s museum that dd loves. It was a nice change of pace for a day.

Mbf: I know it’s nothing I should complain about, but am I the only one sick of the hot weather? I live in the Midwest where it was 91 degrees today. I’m ready for fall. All of my maternity clothes from last time are long sleeved and I’m so sick of wearing the same three shirts over and over.

katiegeminimoon · September 2017

@kaylawing omg yesssss. I'm in Ohio and I am OVER this 90 degree weather. It is supposed to be beautiful Fall weather right now.

ameliabedelia-2 · September 2017

@kaylawing, omg so over it. We went to an Oktoberfest last week and it was sweltering. It sort of takes the excitement out of the fall when you're stroking out from the heat.

I have a combined MBF and Magnificent Monday.....I got a note from my doctor last week for remote work the remainder of my pregnancy. I wanted to hold out for as long as possible, but my boss is so intolerable, I have decided to break the news to him tomorrow. I am both excited and terrified of having to have that conversation.

cait5413 · September 2017

@clovelyone my blood work has been normal so far, but I have my GD test later this week, so maybe they'll check it again. It's only happened a few times, and I think it tends to happen when I am not drinking enough water.

MJDsquared · September 2017

I meant to start Twatwaffle Tuesday today but now it's late so I'm just going to bitch over here.

There are certain customer requests that we're always instructed to pass to the sales rep. So we take the info, then email the sales rep and provide contact info and they're supposed to reach out. Except sales reps are so damn flaky and make me rage when I keep getting calls from the customer asking me again and again and again. CALL YOUR DAMN CUSTOMER. Ugh. It makes me look bad and also makes the company as a whole look bad. So irritating.
